How to turn on Windows Update Auto-Update

[Bill Snow]

I can't find any reference in Help and Support for how turn on the
Auto-Update feature. Am I missing the reference? Can someone tell me where
the setting is? And how to do it?

Hi Bill, you can find this setting in "Start/Control
panel/system/automatic updates"

Hi Bill,

first make sure that Automatic Updates service is running (it should be by
default). Right click on My Computer > Manage > double click on Services and
Applications > double click on Services and look for Automatic Updates.
Check that it is set to start automatically and that service is running.

Once this is done right click My Computer > Properties > Automatic Updates.
Here you can configure when you want your Automatic Updates service to
download and update your PC.

I hope this helps,

Mike

Control Panel - System - Automatic updates page.

Also check that the related services have not been turned off; in
Control Panel - Admin Tools - Services, check that Autoupdate is on
Automatic start, and started, and that Background Intelligent Transfer
is on either Automatic or Manual - not Disabled
